Pikeys Dog how lucky are we, this is the second time you have shipped to us for a swap.

I gave Dan the box as one of his birthday gifts. He had fun going through all the small items. Very nice.
Then you hit it out of the ballpark. The bucket mug was one he did not have. Didn't you make make the shell? I think I watched you do that.

He put the mug into his collection.

From the small stuff he found an island man and put it in front of his Islander bowl by Eric October.

He really enjoyed your box full of fun stuff. Thank you very much Pikey's Dog.

We saw on TC a collector who only had peanut mugs. He displayed them this way to show all the names of the places. He had so many different ones that we'll never catch up. It was super to have Joe send us one we didn't have. Very cool. We love these swaps. I'm waiting for my goodies from MadDogMike's swap next over on the other crafts thread. For that one if had to be of pacific sea creatures.

Looks like the final ones have gone out!
So WoohooWahine, Tobunga, and Tiki Atari and TIki Ano should all keep an eye out. Not one eye collectively, I mean each should keep their own eye out.

Tiki-Atari, Thank you! I can't believe it- I have to apologize (belatedly, I admit), I missed the end of the Horror in Clay kickstarter by a few days (when it ended, a while back), and always wanted one of your awesome mugs. Jonathan, you sent an awesome box of goodness, I need to take photos and will post later on today- thanks very much! This Cthulhu mug (as well as everything else) will have a great home. (If you're not already familiar, check out http://www.horrorinclay.com for more info). Photos later today....

Holy Cthulhu of a Mug Swap! Huge thanks to Atari-Tiki for this massive box of Tiki finds. There was tons of great stuff in this box that came all the way from Atlanta: two mugs: Atari-Tiki's Horror in Clay Cthulhu mug & a Mai Kai mug, swizzles a-plenty, matchbooks, coasters, Horrors in Clay stickers, coasters, napkins, drink recipes, and a lei. Not to mention the Tiki Zombie comic book.
